#FutureHusband


J. Nichole - 2019

Dear #FutureHusband, I hope your passport is ready. She met a man who had questionable political opinions. Dear #FutureHusband, we don’t have to agree on everything, but we have to be on the same political team. Then she met Russell who seemed to be the future husband she posted about. Russell, on the other hand, was heartbroken — by his fiancé and baby mama — and was determined to stay single. He preferred meeting random women, and enjoyed one night stands, over being vulnerable in a committed relationship. Could Anaya be the woman to heal his broken heart?

Love Me Right Now


B. Love - 2016
    Ever. My life wasn’t set up for me to do something this taboo. This risky. This… sexy. This… reckless. As a preacher’s daughter there were just some things in this world I was not allowed or expected to do – meeting a total and complete stranger for sex was probably on the top of the list. This wasn’t planned. Okay, well maybe it was. Let me start from the beginning. Him I ain’t no fool. I know sex could never lead to love. I’ve never believed in love at first sight. So what was this that I was feeling for Akela? Akela. Even her name speaks to what she is. What she was. Alone. She didn’t know that I knew that that was what her name meant. We really didn’t know too much about each other. Just the basics. All I know is when I laid eyes on her I wanted her. And when I was inside of her I needed her. I never wanted to let her go. But she made it clear last night before we went to sleep that this was going to be a onetime thing. She wanted to forget she ever knew him. He wanted to be as close to her as her skin, yet as distant as enemies. After their night together, they are forced to be together for two months because of her accident and his career. Could a one-night stand turn into something more?

Half & Half


Grey - 2018
    All night & all day. Just like the coffee shop I’d met him at that day luck was on my side. It was one cup of coffee. My last five dollars. And a sign of good faith. Who’d ever known the man I given my last to would be Levee Billion, prominent figure and one of Huffington Mill’s most eligible bachelors. Did I mention he was filthy fxcking rich? Just before he slid into his foreign whip, he’d left my mind in a frenzy and my body on fire. One wink and a thank you note with his number attached. “Call me if you’re ever in need.” Of course I was in need. I had been since the day I smelled his obnoxious cologne. Witnessed his intoxicating smile. Been blessed with his lingering presence. I’d become addicted. His absence was vexatious. Even, now, the thought of our differences keeping us apart had me strung out and stressed out.
